Emile > Iraqis support attacks on U.S. & British troops ... a secret military poll commissioned by senior officers has revealed.

I always search for the original reference when the poster has not included a link to it. Interestingly, I couldn't get it on google but did find a link on yahoo.

iwtnews.com

>>Less than 1 percent believed that the forces were responsible for any improvement in security, and 82 per cent say they are "strongly opposed" to the presence of coalition troops.<<

And who can blame them? The so-called "security" forces are not in Iraq to bring security to the Iraqis but to enable the theft of the land and the oil, establish US military bases and promote chaos by upsetting the established order.

The campaign has not been a complete disaster, however. There is enough chaos, there are US bases and the oil companies have made a fortune. Maybe a benefit (to the Iraqis) will turn out to be the removal of Saddam but I very much doubt that any truly democratically elected Iraqi government will be sympathetic to the US? I won't even mention Israel. And I'm sure the Iraqis won't rest until every American has been pushed off Iraqi soil, bases and all.

The irony and the unexpected consequence of their rash act will be that one day the Americans will regret removing Saddam because, notwithstanding what he did to his own people, he was very fond of the US and would have done anything to please America, especially in the days leading up to the invasion.
